ANGRY MEN: WHAT HAPPENED TO MAKE THEM SO ANGRY

August 26, 2021 by

Angry men all come from the same source of disillusionment: “This isn’t what I expected and I’m pissed, y’all.” No one respects you? Grrrr. You don’t have a celebrity lifestyle? Feeling hot. Someone told you you’re getting replaced? Grab a torch. But where does this all start? Look at self-esteem.

TEMPORARY LIFE: WHEN YOU KNOW IT WON’T LAST

August 26, 2021 by

How do temporary life fixes turn into something permanent? First, something breaks, and it’s complicated, expensive, so call in a pro.

HEALTH REMINDER: USE YOUR HEAD

August 25, 2021 by

This health reminder comes with a little band-aide. It’s the white spot on the right. “You need to get that mole checked out.” “It’s fine.” “Just to be sure, get it checked out.” I used my head and got it checked out. What’s the big deal with keeping up with good health practices?

COMMON GOOD STILL TOO UNCOMMON FOR TOO MANY

August 24, 2021 by

The common good means something different to everyone, but that’s still not right. A simple definition might clear things up, starting with the basics, the common needs for human existence. Fortunately, it’s already been done. Thank you, Abraham Maslow.

COLOR TELEVISION STARTED THE PSYCHEDELIC ERA

August 24, 2021 by

Color television started before hippies were tripping on recreational acid. Young Moondoggie and Star Dreamer saw the Wizard of Oz in black and white as kids. If they hadn’t seen it in a theater, color television blew their minds when Dorothy stepped out of the house after it landed. Spoiler Alert: It went from black […]

WHEN ONE SIDE DOESN’T QUITE GET THE MESSAGE

August 23, 2021 by

One side, the left, are U.S. Marines in WWII. The other side is reputed to be a propaganda pic from Afghanistan. Men in both wear U.S. gear. That’s it, that’s the post. This is so wrong in so many ways.

DO YOU KNOW BETTER? PROBABLY NOT AND YOU’RE NOT ALONE

August 22, 2021 by

What age marks the moment when you ‘ought to know better?’ How many times do we get fooled before we say we won’t get fooled again? The first time you got fooled: That was unexpected. The second time you got fooled: Didn’t we take care of that last time? The third time you got fooled: […]

CONSISTENCY HABIT? WHAT YOU DO IS WHO YOU ARE

August 21, 2021 by

If a consistency habit sounds like one step away from living in a rut, then you’re doing it wrong. A rut, or living in a rut, is the hole you’ve been digging. When life said ‘Dig in’ you started and never stopped, never asked why. That’s a rut you’ve been plowing, my friends, and I’m […]
